Some personal news. Very happy to have finished chemotherapy today. There is lots of other treatment to come but it’s a great milestone.

Brilliant to have worked with @CityWestminster and community organisations on this project to make safeguarding information accessible to communities by translating it in several community languages
Safeguarding leaflets in key languages are essential to reach communities & resident especially parents and carers of our young people we work with. Ensuring safeguarding information reaches those communities & they are able to understand @CityWestminster @LDN_VRU @MayorofLondon

What an unforgettable night celebrating International Women's Day! 🌙✨ Our iftar gathering for women was a beautiful blend of generations, where we shared delicious potluck dishes, spiritual reminders, and meaningful conversations. The evening was filled with love & laughter.

This week, in honor of FGM Zero Tolerance Day, our health advocates did incredible work both online and in person with Somali, Arab, Ethiopian, and Eritrean-speaking communities. Together, they’re working towards making female genital mutilation a part of history.

I’m proud of the small role the BME Health Forum had in this programme with conversations about the systemic problems faced by people who don’t speak fluent English accessing NHS services. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001sm…

Our health advocacy project funded by the National Lottery is doing great work mitigating some of the issues raised. But a long term sustainable solution is needed.
